Harold Axtell was instrumental in making the University of Idaho one of the largest producer of Rhodes Scholars west of the Great Lakes. As his daughter, Mildred Axtell Hensley, stated, "He loved teaching, he loved young people and students, he loved the classics and the University of Idaho, where he spent over 40 years."
